TOM體育訊
北京時間7月7日ESPN消息,Chauncey Billups與底特律活塞就續約問題達成一致,
Chauncey Billups將留守底特律。
據ESPN記者裡克-布奇報道,經過幾番談判之後,今年夏天球員市場中最受關注的「大魚」
Chauncey Billups與活塞就續約問題達成一致,Billups接受了活塞開出的續約條件,
選擇繼續為活塞效力,不過目前這份合約的具體內容還沒有公開。在此前曾有傳聞稱活塞
為Billups開出了一份5年6000萬美元的合同,但Billups的經紀人安迪-米勒公開給予了
否認,米勒表示這則消息是虛假的,Billups並沒有和活塞就續約問題達成一致,續約
談判還在繼續。
據《美聯社》此前爆料,Billups和活塞將簽署的是一份為期5年的合約,前4年是保障
合同,價值4600萬美元,而第五年活塞擁有球隊選擇權,可以提前終止合約。
現年30歲的Billups是1997年探花秀,但其職業生涯前期顛沛流離,先後輾轉波士頓
塞爾提克、丹佛金礦、奧蘭多魔術和明尼蘇達灰狼,但均未獲得重用。2002年,Billups
轉投活塞,在這裡他獲得了新生,成為了活塞的後場核心,並率領活塞在2004年捧起了
總冠軍獎杯,Billups也獲得了總決賽MVP的殊榮。Billups在上賽季場均為活塞貢獻17分
和7.2次助攻,在賽季結束後,Billups行使球員選擇權,放棄了最後一年的合約,成為了
完全自由球員,投身轉會市場。

值得期待。
--http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/0705hillonline.html Grant Hill will be a Sun.
Hill's agent, Lon Babby said that Hill told Phoenix today that he would join
the Suns in his quest for a championship. There is a moratorium on free agent
signings until Wednesday.
Hill was offered the Suns' biennial exception, which will pay him $1.83 million
in the coming season and give him a player option to return at $1.97 million
for 2008-09. Coming off a seven-year, $92 million contract with Orlando, money
was not his biggest lure to Phoenix.
"He established a number of criteria," Babby said. "His opportunity to
contribute to a championship would be on the top of the list. He really thought
it through and was diligent and concluded this is the best opportunity for his
career. He's very, very excited about it."
Hill was drawn by the chance to be on a title contender and an important
playing role on a team that fits the 6-foot-8 swingman's versatile style. Hill,
who will turn 35 in October, could start for Phoenix with Steve Nash, Raja Bell
, Shawn Marion and Amare Stoudemire. He also will give Suns Coach Mike D'Antoni
another facilitator to help run the offense when Steve Nash is resting.
"The opportunity described to him is consistent with what he's looking for,"
Babby said. "He's not someone looking for anything granted to him but more that
he'd have the opportunity to start."
Hill chose Phoenix over Detroit, Orlando, San Antonio, Miami and Dallas. Hill
heard phone pitches from each team this week, talking to Suns General Manager
Steve Kerr and Coach Mike D'Antoni on Tuesday. He also spoke to Steve Nash at
some point, Babby said.
Hill is coming off one of his healthiest season after an Orlando stay plagued
by injuries. He has undergone five surgeries on his left ankle, including one
that led to a life-threatening staph infection. He also underwent hernia
surgery in the fall of 2005.
Hill bounced back last season, just as he did to make the 2005 All-Star Game
after rebounding from a four-year battle with ankle injuries that caused him to
miss all but 47 of 328 games. Last season, Hill played in 65 games and finished
a season in uniform, rather than a suit or a hospital, for the first in Orlando.
"His health is fine," Babby said. "There is every expectation that he will be
healthy."
